Footnotes

Former WWE writer Court Bauer’s radio network MLW is here. He is on Twitter here.

Men going face-to- face with women in the wrestling ring is an issue that divides opinion. Some think it may encourage domestic violence by normalising a man hitting a woman to an audience. Others think it’s empowering for women – to be athletically at the same level as a man given we are, after all, talking about a scripted sport. It is a debate that rumbles on both in the mainstream and on local wrestling shows across the globe.

Episode one of this season features the following guests: Kris Levin, Abbey Laith, Andy Quildan, Klondyke Kate, Bob Zmuda and Dave Meltzer.
